Mobs

Mobs are spawned via 0x18 Mob Spawn. There are two extra mob types in the code that refer to mobs classes that can never spawn: Mob and Monster (they are always subclasses, aka another more specific type).

Since Release 1.6, all minecarts are spawned with object type 10 and their functionality is then specified in the Object data within the packet. Also, their visual appearance may be sent via the Entity Metadata packet.

Entity Metadata

Entity Metadata Format

Note that entity metadata is a totally distinct concept from block metadata. All entities must send at least one item of metadata, in most cases this will be the health item.

The entity metadata format is quirky dictionary format, where the key and the value's type are packed in a single byte.

To parse, repeat the following procedure:

  1. Read an unsigned byte
  2. If this byte == 127, stop reading
  3. Decompose the byte.
    The bottom 5 bits (0x1F) serve as an identifier (key) for the data to follow.
    The top 3 bits (0xE0) serve as a type.
  4. Read and unpack based on the type (below)
Type Meaning
0 Byte
1 Short
2 Int
3 Float
4 UTF-8 String (VarInt prefixed)
5 Slot
6* Int, Int, Int (x, y, z)

*Not currently used


In C-like psuedocode:

do {
    item = readByte();
    if (item == 0x7F) break;
    var index = item & 0x1F;
    var type = item >> 5;
    
    if (type == 0) metadata[index] = readByte();
    if (type == 1) metadata[index] = readShort();
    if (type == 2) metadata[index] = readInt();
    if (type == 3) metadata[index] = readFloat();
    if (type == 4) metadata[index] = readString();
    if (type == 5) metadata[index] = readSlot();
    if (type == 6) {
        var vector;
        vector.x = readInt();
        vector.y = readInt();
        vector.z = readInt();
        metadata[index] = vector;
    }
} while (true);
